Chucky

It was October 2021 when Kareema, the owner of Safe Haven Egypt, saw a post of a blind young cat walking on a busy road in Cairo. Kareema rescued him from the streets not long after.

Chucky has been a resident of 'the haven' for over 3 years and he would like to know what it is like to have his own loving home.

He is now estimated to be 3.5 years old and was born around April 2021.

In December 2024, his sponsor went to visit Haven in Egypt. This information also comes from the personal visit to Chucky by his sponsor.

Chucky is a very calm tomcat. If your Chucky is suddenly touched, he can sometimes get scared and then scratch once. For this reason, Chucky is better not placed in a busy family with children.

Other than being blind, there are no other known health issues. It is possible to have a FIV/FeLV test performed.

Chucky is social with cats and cat-friendly dogs.

Like all SHE cats, Chucky has been vaccinated against common cat diseases and has been given flea and worm treatments. He is chipped and castrated. And litter box trained.

Chucky was found blind on the street. Much effort has been made to give him safety and health in Haven. He must also find that safety in his new home.

Who can give him that, a safe home? In a rather quiet house? View our adoption procedure if this sounds like something for you. Don't be put off by the fact that Chucky is blind. That's okay. Blind cats are very self-reliant.

Mylo

Name: Mylo

Age: About 2 years old

Gender: Male castrated

Behavior/character: Mylo is a calm young tomcat who loves to be petted.

Medication/health: Mylo has a scar/small deformity on the right jaw of his mouth. Soon a number of teeth will be pulled.

Social with people: Mylo is social towards people, will not push himself but does like a pat.

Social with other cats and dogs: Mylo is the epitome of calm and gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

How did the cat end up in the haven: Kareema saw a post about a young tomcat that was walking on the street with an injury to his head, she immediately went to get him off the street. When she found Mylo he appeared to have a large wound on his head and he was missing a piece of tissue and skin on the right side of his jaw. This injury has healed reasonably well but he did have a scar/small deformity because of it, so you can always see his teeth on the right. Soon a number of teeth will be pulled, which were affected by all this.

Daniel

Name: Daniel

Age: About 1.5 years old.

Gender: Male, neutered.

Behavior/character: Work in progress, from scared/shy to pushing up against you for a pet. Daniel was initially afraid of people, recently he is starting to trust people more and more and he also comes to you for a cuddle.

Medication/health: Healthy as far as we know, not taking any medication.

How the cat ended up in the haven: Daniel was found about 6 months ago on a busy street on October 6th. People took a picture and shared it on Facebook. Based on the picture, Kareema went to get him off the busy street and that's how he ended up in 'the haven'.

Rebel

How the cat ended up in the haven: Kareema recently received a message about a kitten in the busy streets of Cairo that was paralyzed from behind.

Jamila

This is a temporary reserved cat. This status typically lasts for a week.
This is so that an interested party can think about a possible adoption proposal. It is still possible to apply as a reserve.

Jamila is a very friendly cat who is very people-oriented.

Location cat? 6th October City, Egypt – adoption to Belgium/Netherlands

Reason for rehoming? Former street cat.

How did the cat end up in the harbor?

When Kareema arrived at the SHE not long ago, she found a carrier case with a cat in it next to the harbor. In this carrier case was the beautiful and people-oriented Jamila. It happens all too often, unfortunately, that Egyptians acquire a cat and later dump it on the streets when their life changes or they no longer want the cat. Luckily for Jamila, her previous owner did not dump her on the busy streets of Cairo but put her in a carrier case next to the harbor. Even though the harbor was completely full with about 250 to 300 cats, Kareema could not leave her on the streets and took Jamila inside.

Jamila is a very friendly cat who is very people oriented. She follows you everywhere you go for a cuddle or a pat. She loves dreamies, for this she follows you everywhere and stands up to you. I am pretty sure Jamila will become a lap cat in no time once she feels comfortable in her forever home.

Socialized with pets? Jamila gets along very well with other cats and dogs that are cat-friendly.

Behavior/character? Jamila is a calm friendly cat.

Medication/health? No known problems, Jamila is a healthy young cat.

Pablo

❗ This is a confirmed cat. This one is no longer available for adoption. ❗

At the end of December 2023, Pablo came to the attention of someone who cared about Pablo's fate. He was in a very bad state at the time. Starving and weak. So weak that he could no longer really walk.

A message about Pablo on Facebook reached Haven and he was admitted.

Pablo recovered well with rest, safety and nutrition. Blood tests showed that he has kidney problems.

He needs special diet and medication. Pablo also has Cerebellar hypoplasia. A 'CH' cat. This is a developmental disorder of a part of the brain that causes control problems with movement.

Pablo was a street cat as he was found on the street. His age is uncertain but best estimate is that he is about 10 years old. He could be younger or older.

There are no street cats that are 10 years old. Pablo must have been a house cat that was no longer welcome. Putting him on the street should have been a death sentence for Pablo. If the miracle of being taken in at Haven did not happen.

Pablo is considerably older than most SHE cats. But still has many years to go. With good care.

Haven gives him a good start with the standard treatment;

He has received his vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Deworming and flea treatment. Is chipped and neutered.

Who can see beyond his age and his medical concerns? Does a Pablo have a chance with you? Please read our adoption procedure.

And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Beauty

This is an adopted cat

The young cat was found in a cardboard box on the street with her kittens. It is unclear whether they were dumped in the box or whether the cat chose it as a place to give birth. However, it is very clear that she is an abandoned house cat, because she is extremely trusting.

A kind person picked up the mother and her kittens and brought them to the Haven. Unfortunately, none of the babies made it.

The mother cat survived, but lost an eye due to a severe infection. The infection was treated and she was also de-fleaed, de-wormed, vaccinated, sterilized and chipped.

It is anticipated that Beauty will undergo surgery to close the eye socket to prevent the risk of a possible future infection.

In the SHE community there is a tradition: the first sponsor of a newcomer gets to choose a name. This sponsor gave her the name “Beauty”!

Beauty is now about a year and a half old and much more than a beauty!

What makes this fluffy tuxedo cat a dream cat is her personality. Koky, the founder of SHE, describes her as “super, super, super friendly”.

When you look at the pictures, you can see Beauty's affection for people in the look of her one eye! Beauty is good with everyone, … with respectful children, with cat-friendly dogs and with her own kind.

Who wants to give our cute pirate girl a loving forever home?

Beauty can travel to the EU, the UK, Canada and the US. Under certain conditions, she can also be placed in Switzerland. She has her vaccination booklet and an official rabies titer certificate with her.

Aila and Ava

❗ This is an reserved cat. This one is no longer available for adoption at this time. ❗

On June 10, 2024, Koky, the founder of Haven, saw a couple drop off two animal boxes in front of the shelter with several cats crammed together.

The couple said they had been breeding cats and were leaving Egypt. They had sold all the kittens and now there were five adult cats left. Koky could accept the cats or they would release them on the streets.

Since breeding cats would not be able to survive on the streets, Koky had no choice and took them to Haven. There were three red cats, a white cat and a red tomcat, all longhaired. One of the red cats was pregnant and had her kittens at the shelter.

Two of these cats love each other very much, Aila and Ava. These two are adopted together.

Both are beautiful, fluffy red cats and, like forest cats, have tufts in their ears.

Due to their coat color they can be considered a rarity, as only 20% of all ginger cats are female. In addition, their amber eyes make their appearance very special. Ava has a small white bib.

They are both estimated to be around 3 years old. Veterinary examinations have not revealed any health problems.

In Haven they get along very well with their own kind, but they also love people. They are both very friendly and love human attention.

Aila and Ava are already sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and vaccinated. They can fly to Europe, Canada and the US. They both have a vaccination passport and an official veterinary certificate of active protection against rabies.

These two beauties are pure indoor cats. Sure, they can enjoy the benefits of a balcony with a screen, a fully enclosed enclosure or a cat-proof garden, but they are not allowed to roam freely.

Beatrice

This is an withdrawn cat. This cat is no longer available for adoption.

Beatrice came to attention through a Facebook post on June 7, 2023 by a group trying to save cats in Cairo and Giza. A call for help for a cat in extreme distress.

Clearly a domestic cat that has been accidentally or - more likely deliberately - taken from the safety of its former home to die on the street.

Safe Haven Egypt was able to help in this case and this shadow of a cat came to Haven.

Whether a cat in such a terrible condition can still be saved is always a question mark. But Beatrice pulled through. Thanks to the support of SHE community who sponsored her medical expenses. She is a SHE miracle cat.

Beatrice is estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. She is a very, very friendly cat. You can pick her up. She likes to cuddle.

Beatrice is virtually blind. She can probably still see a little bit.

She has not only lost her sight due to her neglect, but also liver problems. She eats special veterinary diet food. Beatrice eats well.

The severity of the liver problems is not really clear. There are indications that this is not too bad.

A potential adopter for Beatrice can request medical advice from their own veterinarian based on Beatrice's blood tests. This is the most recent blood test available. New research can be done upon request.

Like all SHE cats, Beatrice has been sterilized and has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases. Rabies vaccine campaign. She has been shipped. And she has undergone a deworming treatment and anti-flea treatment. And she is litter box trained.

Who can give a Beatrice a safe home?

Please then read our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us for all your questions.

Sharing this post would be kind.

Jonsey

Jonsey arrived at Safe Haven Egypt on December 21, 2023, after being abandoned by someone near the shelter.

He has a gentle and playful personality, and is a real cuddler who likes to lie on your lap. Jonsey gets along well with other cats and dogs who are used to cats.

He is estimated to have been born in October 2023. He is now one year old.

All cats at Safe Haven Egypt, including Jonsey, have received their basic vaccinations against common feline diseases and rabies. They are microchipped, have undergone a deworming treatment and an anti-flea treatment. All cats are housetrained and have undergone castration or sterilization.

At Safe Haven Egypt we focus on the safety and well-being of our cats. Therefore, our cats must be kept indoors and cannot roam freely. They are allowed in one catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

When adopted, our cats travel with a negative rabies lab certificate, in a sturdy cat box, and with all cat documentation. We ask adoption candidates for our adoption procedure and not to hesitate if you have questions to contact us.

Jonsey is ready for a loving and safe home. Are you ready to meet this sweet young man?
